Thats just made me go really squeamish! I have seen it done on the tv & I don't think I would want to cut a cord either

I had my partner and my best friend there. My best friend said she found it very emotional but they were both a tower of strength and if I were to ever have another child I'd have them both again. To start with it was a bit weird with her in the labour and delivery room with me seeing me in all my glory!!!!! By the end though I couldn't have cared less who saw me.

My darling other half and my mum are being my birth partners and I really want my mum to get the first hold of the baby. She was a little pushed out with my 3rd with mum in law and o/h's family.

My hubby just did what I told him to do !!! In other words, give me iced water, mop my brow, push the
buttons on the TENS machine for me ... I did do this myself until
I got to hospital, but the pains were coming thick and fast then and
I forgot, so Hubby kept pressing the buttons when I was having
a contraction ... he also made sure that my favourite music was
on and kept laughing at me when I was laughing on the gas
and air, which made me laugh more ! When Serens head started crowning he was just really encouraging
and emotional with it all that it gave me the determination
to keep pushing !!

Your hubby sounds like he was the perfect birthing partner frostyh
My hubby is very very nervous about coming in with me but then again, in a weird way i would like to do it on my own.
I have talked him into coming in with me though i think he'll be a bit freaked out so not much help...bless him he is so squeamish

My hubby was so unsure of what he would be like, but on the
day when I realised that I was in labour it took us by surprise
a bit, and we just got along with it. Hubby didn't panic, did
everything I asked of him and he says that because I was
so calm so was he ! We also had a really good midwife to
deliver Seren.
